The YEFC and the VIPCOAT (Virtual Open Innovation Platform for Active Protective Coatings Guided by Modelling and Optimization) consortium invite you to a webinar on open innovation platforms for science. Marko Horvat (Wikki Ltd., UK), Lisa Sahlmann (Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, DE), Katja Schladitz (Fraunhofer Institute, DE), Nourhan Abdelrahman (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, BE), and Mats Meeusen (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, BE) will share their experience in how to create an open innovation platform, and explain why it is important for contemporary scientific-societal collaborations.Some of the following topics will be covered:

  1. What is an open-innovation platform (OIP)? (Marko Horvat)
  2. Case study of VIPCOAT OIP pipeline
    Corrosion inhibitor selection and efficiency prediction (Lisa Sahlmann)
    Inhibitor leaching performance from a coating matrix (Katja Schladitz, Fraunhofer)
    Inhibitor performance in a coating defect (Nourhan Abdelrahman, VUB)
    Inhibitor performance under accelerated corrosion conditions (Mats Meeusen, VUB)
    Design of an AI based workflow for coating performance prediction (Lisa Sahlmann, Hereon)
  3. Open discussion
